Easter

"When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit." John 19:30

This time of year carries so much gravity. The God of the universe came to earth as lowly human and lived the perfect life without sin. He left the ultimate example of how we should live our lives, and then he gave his life for mankind. I don't know if I will ever fully comprehend the love of our savior.

How is it that I can know these things and go on sinning? I feel like Paul when he says "So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin." (Romans 7:21-25)

Easter week is usually a good time of reflection for me. It's so easy to just go through Easter without really contemplating what Christ did for us, but I encourage you to really think about it this year.

That's kind of an awkward end to this post, but I can't think of another way to end it.
